Actress Kristen Bell says she will not walk down the aisle with beau Dax Shepard until gay marriage is legalised. The star joins actors like
Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie, who have also vowed not to tie the knot until everyone else had the right to do so.
"I get a ton of questions about when Dax and I are getting married, and starting a family. I usually just blow them off because quite frankly it is nobody's business! And to be really honest with you - and this is the first time I've ever said this to the media, and it feels like the perfect time and place - the reason we're not rushing to get married is simply because I don't feel appropriate taking advantage of a right that's denied to my best friends," Bell revealed during a recent magazing interview.
"That's why we've been so hesitant. Dax and I have talked about it quite a lot, and this issue is very important and close to both of us. We're just standing up for what we believe in. Period," she added.
Bell is an American actress best known for her role in Heroes, playing the character Elle Bishop, and in Gossip Girl as the off-screen titular narrator.
She has appeared in a number of films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Fanboys, Couples Retreat, and When in Rome.
